 Eugene M.

At a young age, Eugene accepted Christ and joined Queens Chapel Methodist Church in Kingston, Georgia where he was an active member until his health failed.

He was a devoted husband to Mae Pearl and a loving father to his four children, Lucinda, Ann, Angela, and Clyde Wells. Eugene retired in 1999 from Goodyear of Cartersville, Georgia after thirty-four years of service, where he was a dedicated employee with many awards.

Eugene was preceded in death by his parents; son, Clyde Wells; and brother Bobby Wells.
